Sort of.

You could search the harddrive for the binaries of these products. However, this could take an awfully long time, be invalidated as soon as a new version of the software comes out and will probably be quite platform-dependent.

I suggest just asking the user to give you the directory of the install. If they give you something rubbish - their fault!
